It's also water-resistant, safeguarding against spills and can withstand high temperatures from hot tableware or drinks.

SLIP RESISTANT (R12)

R12 Rating provides excellent traction on wooden surfaces
Independently tested on multiple wood types
Ideal for safety-critical areas like stairs and high-traffic zones

Slip-resistance rating R12 (Good)*. Tested in accordance with BS 7976-2 / UKSRG Guidelines and DIN 51130:2004 standards on Maple, Teak, Pine, Sapele, English Ash, English Oak and Iroko wood flooring.

Test Report for Pendulum Testing to BS7976-2 by Surface Consultants Ltd

*The R scale runs from R9 to R13, where R9 is slippery when wet, and R13 the least slippery. Floor surfaces that are classified by the DIN 51130 standard as R9 (or in some instances R10) will be slippery when used in wet or greasy conditions.

COVERAGE

Our Hard Wax Oil provides excellent coverage on a variety of wooden surfaces:

Container Size	Coverage Area
500ml	10m² approx.
1L	20m² approx.

Coverage varies depending on the porosity and condition of the wood. Testing on a small inconspicuous area first is recommended to determine exact coverage for your specific application.

DRYING TIME

8 HOURS

Average drying time for a single application

Our hard wax oil is made with natural ingredients. A single application will usually be dry in 8 hours. The drying time may extend in cold and humid environments.

Best Drying Conditions - The best drying conditions are achieved by applying the hard wax oil sparingly in a warm, well ventilated room.

HOW TO APPLY

Unlike traditional finishes, our hard wax oil is simple to apply with a cloth, brush, or roller, providing a protective, satin sheen to your wood. And with our professional trade tips, you'll have all the guidance you need for a flawless finish.

Application

Ensure the wood surface is smooth, clean and dry before applying
Use a good quality lint free cloth, brush or sponge roller to apply
Apply two coats for best results on high traffic areas such as floors, kitchen worktops and dining tables
Sanding between each coat is not always necessary but advisable for a smoother finish

Rougher surfaces may increase the drying time and will require more applications to achieve a smooth finish.

TRADE TIPS

On initial application, if possible, remove the excess hard wax oil with a lint free cloth as you apply it. This will help reduce the drying time.
Unlike traditional varnishes our hard wax oil is not a viscous coating and will perform much better if applied in multiple thin layers as opposed to heavy single applications.
Our hard wax oil is also very effective to use as a sanding sealer. Wipe it on bare wood and allow it to soak in for a few minutes. Then wipe away all the excess oil and allow to dry.

Still in the tin unfortunately but it looks like good stuff - really looking forward to applying it to my new oak shelves.

A great product easy to apply and with beautiful results. A handy 'how to' video too.

Excellent product

Used hard wax oil on old farmhouse table. Did not turn orange as other products do. Easy to apply and website is full of excellent advice

Hard wax oil

My husband is very pleased with the wax , it brought out the wood grain beautifully. Thank you

Brilliant stuff!

This stuff is so easy to use, it is brilliant and has brought back to life a very battered set of G Plan tables that I bought in a charity shop. It gives a lovely smooth surface with a brilliant shine.

Best on the market

The hard wax oil has turned my dull, worn pine table into a new looking table. Simons YouTube film is so informative. I can not recommend the product highly enough. The product was so nicely packaged and we are looking forward to growing our sun flowers

Excellent product producing a lovely finish

Watch the Gilboy's UTube video on this product and use as instructed to get excellent results

New Shelf protection.

So far I have only applied the hard wax oil to a test piece as I am trying to colour softwood to match light oak but the finish I have achieved with this product on the test piece is really good. Easy to apply and a nice natural finish. Very satisfied with the hard wax oil.
